LOVE Island stars won't be expected to foot the bill for their flights to Majorca, accommodation or meals, despite reports to the contrary.

There had been suggestions that potential contestants would have to shell out while waiting for their turn to enter the Spanish villa - but an insider confirmed to The Sun Online that they wouldn't have to spend a penny.

Love Island stars won't have to foot the bill for flights, accommodation and meals, according to an insider

According to the Mirror Online, a clause in the terms and conditions for the hit show - which begins on June 4 - suggested the islanders waiting to be called up could be forced to foot the bill for not only their flights, but also their drinks and phone calls.

However, an insider told The Sun Online that all expenses for hopefuls will be covered.

They said: "They get their flights out there paid, their accommodation in a hotel paid for and they're given an allowance for meals before and after going into the villa."

This is in contrast to reports that pointed to a clause which suggested only a participant's stay in the villa would be covered.

It reads: "You are solely responsible for any and all costs or expenses incurred by you in applying to participate or your participation in the Programme, (including but not limited to: calls made, postage, ISP charges, telephone fees, travelling expenses, transportation, accommodation, meals, drinks, insurance, taxes and other costs).

"Under no circumstances will we, Motion or the Broadcaster cover these or any additional costs."

However, it seems potential stars should rest assured that they won't be sent into the red during their time away from the UK.
